About the Item

Glen Head, County Donegal Ireland by William Henry Burns (1924-1995) signed oil on canvas, framed Framed: 25.5 x 35.5 inches Canvas : 20.5 x 35 inches Provenance: private collection, UK Condition: very good condition Description: Glen Head, County Donegal, holds a rich historical and cultural significance in Ireland. This dramatic coastal headland, part of the untamed Wild Atlantic Way, was once a refuge for ancient Gaelic clans. It sits near the Glenveagh National Park and the Bluestack Mountains, areas that saw centuries of resilience against English rule during Ireland’s turbulent past. The region is steeped in folklore, with tales of mythical warriors and early Christian settlements. Today, Glen Head’s rugged cliffs and remote beauty reflect the wild spirit of Ireland’s western coast. Popular with American tourists, it offers a glimpse into Ireland’s unspoiled landscapes, where the echoes of history blend with stunning natural vistas. The artist has skillfully captured the natural beauty of the coastline, with the ocean stretching out into the distance, framed by rocky outcrops and grassy hills. Seagulls soar over the water, adding a dynamic element to the serene scene, while the distant cliffs fade into soft blues and greens, creating a sense of depth and scale.
